When I was working on the guitar, the words just kind of poured out of me. I didn&#8217;t have to think about them too much, it was almost like they already existed within the chords I was playing. Even though it&#8217;s the shortest track on the EP, it still takes me on a journey whenever I listen to it. The way the drums come in as the verse starts gets me so hype. It&#8217;s a nice surprise no matter how many times I&#8217;ve heard it. I feel like listening to &#8216;Lunatic&#8217; and watching the music video, people will get a pretty good idea of what it&#8217;s like hanging out with me.

The video, conceptualized by frequent collaborator&nbsp;<strong>Kr\u00f6lhaus<\/strong>&nbsp;(who handled all of the art direction\/visual content for&nbsp;<em>Scattered Storms<\/em>), features a pair of friends sneaking into an abandoned water reservoir to skateboard, all while Good Bison frontman\/brainchild&nbsp;<strong>Pablo Alvarez<\/strong>&nbsp;sits in the middle, singing the song&#8217;s lyrics in a daze.<br><br>&#8220;The lyrics for &#8216;Lunatic&#8217; are about the concept of &#8216;home&#8217; and how to find it, and since skateboarding was my home for such a long time, it made perfect sense to feature it in the music video,&#8221; Alvarez tells&nbsp;Under The Radar. &#8220;We shot everything in an abandoned water reservoir hidden in the hills. We had to walk like 20 minutes, and then go in through a hole in the fence. It reminded me of the type of spots we would skate as teenagers in Miami. I was always sneaking into places and getting chased out by security. Running away from the cops.&#8221;&nbsp;<br><br>&#8220;Even though I don&#8217;t skate anywhere near as much as I did when I was younger, it&#8217;s still a huge part of who I am. The skaters in the video are supposed to represent my thoughts, and I&#8217;m doing my best to ignore them. Pretty much everyone involved in making this had a skating background, so it all came together naturally and it was a lot of fun to work on. I used to film my friends and I skating and then edit the clips together in Windows Movie Maker, shooting this video felt like a throwback to those days.&#8221;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"m_-5712175231741559183m_4731250445965281414gmail-m_1640247968368865420bodyTable\" class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>&#8220;<em>Scattered Storms<\/em>&nbsp;might only be a four song EP, but it\u2019s Good Bison\u2019s most enthralling, emotive, and well-rounded collection of music to date&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong><u>The Aquarian<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;<br><br>&#8220;Angsty and nostalgic, hopelessly romantic and brokenhearted, optimistic and in-your-face.

Alvarez himself is similarly dynamic, opening on an introspective run through the chorus before the percussion kicks in giving the track a driving new sense of urgency. His delivery shifts and listeners can catch some of his hip hop talents packed into an easygoing summer ride. The track runs refreshingly short, but Alvarez makes the most of the time, working his eclectic influences for a compelling spin through his world.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Under The Radar<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe  id=\"_ytid_67246\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hQAQj0TzSX8?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A flurry of surf rock, punk pop, indie rock and hip hop, the music of Good Bison swirls in a creative twist without sounding chaotic.
